Last seen as Jeanette in Paul Dano's family-drama 'Wildlife', Carey Mulligan will soon be seen on Netflix. The 'Drive' star is headed to the world of streaming service with the drama titled 'The Dig' which will be based on a true story.

Initially attached to Nicole Kidman, Edith Pretty will now be played by Carey Mulligan. It is the story of Edith Pretty, a widow who sensed that beneath her house lied an invaluable treasure at the turn of World War II. Her hunch, however, comes true and makes her the center of unwanted attention. Ralph Fiennes will play an archaeologist by the name of Basil Brown who helps Edith with her search, only to be pushed away by the greedy museum curators.

'The Dig' will be written by Moira Buffini (Jane Eyre starring Mia Wasikowska), with Simon Stone (The Daughter) directing. Mulligan will also be seen in the upcoming thriller 'Promising Young Women' by Emerald Fennell in her directorial debut.
